As of late, Vladimir Putin seems to get most of what he wants. So, when a former top Putin adviser says that Russia’s President wants to take Finland, the world takes notice.

While speaking to the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, Andrej Illarionov made it clear that Putin sees any territories that were formerly Russian or Soviet as territories that Russia ought to expand into. Illarionov served as the president’s economic adviser between 2000-2005.

Finland was a part of the former Russian Empire up until 1917 when it was granted total autonomy. However, according to Illarionov, it is Putin’s belief that Finland is rightfully Russian, and the granting of its independence was an act of treason. As such, Illarionov claims that Putin will move into Finland to retake it, and he is poised to do so soon.http://guardianlv.com/2014/03/vladimir-p...s-finland/

Well nothing drives nationalism quite like a foreign threat. For Iran keep your eye on this for probable cause.

Obama had as head of the UN security counsel.

Resolution 1887, which, among other things, calls upon the States that are party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to comply fully with all their obligations and fulfill their treaty commitments. It also calls upon all States to sign and ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

The Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) is a world summit, aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism around the globe. The first summit was held in Washington, D.C. on April 12–13, 2010. The second summit was in Seoul, Korea in 2012. The third summit was held in The Hague, the Netherlands on March 24–25, 2014.

* the most logical way to get away with attacking Iran is to appease Russia, best speculation I can come up with.

I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly
The wise man’s eyes are in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived
That the same event happens to them all.
